The 2026 Kelme Cup (OCKC), officially recognized as the 24th Orange County Kickoff Classic, marks a major new chapter for one of Southern California’s premier youth soccer tournaments.
Hosted by Zeta FC Academy and sponsored by Kelme, the tournament will take place on August 22–23, 2026, and for the first time in its history, will be held over a single weekend.
The event will be played across Orange County Great Park and City of Irvine fields, with plans to host more than 600 teams from across the U.S. and abroad.
Open to boys and girls divisions from U7 to U19, the 2026 edition reflects a renewed vision for growth, scale, and a more professional tournament experience, while continuing the legacy of OCKC.
Kelme will also provide three complimentary match balls to every registered teammate.
